Authentic Mexican Tarascadas

Ingredients

Salsa

1 cup, homemade or store-bought

Sour cream

1/2 cup

Cilantro

1/4 cup, finely chopped

Tortillas

8, warmed

Salt and pepper

to taste

Chili powder

1 tablespoon

Cumin

1 teaspoon

Lime juice

2 tablespoons

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Bell peppers

2, thinly sliced

Onion

1 large, thinly sliced

Skirt steak

1 pound

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. While the grill is heating, prepare your marinade. In a bowl, combine the lime juice, cumin, chili powder, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
3. Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices.
5. While the steak is resting, grill the sliced onions and bell peppers until they are slightly charred and tender. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips. This ensures tender bites.
7. Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. This makes them pliable and enhances their flavor.
8. To assemble the tarascadas, place a few slices of steak on a warm tortilla, top with grilled onions and peppers, and garnish with chopped cilantro. For a tangy kick, add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa.
9. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the authentic Mexican flavors!
